Keep bugging BEV until they do something. Seems to be a number of bugs in the 9200 and they probably wont do anything unless they get tired of people bothering them. Still working on my unit.

I occasionally see a number displayed on the screen, but it's always "UNKNOWN NUMBER." And when I look at the Caller ID history, I see that all the calls intercepted are for "UNKNOWN NUMBER" and they only represent a fraction of all the calls actually received during that time.

I have been bugging Expressvu for some time about this. Here's the last answer. "You will be please to know that the model 9200 displays caller ID when caller ID service is subscribed to. Customers who subscribe to the Caller ID feature through the telephone service provider can now take advantage of this feature. The name and number of the incoming call will be displayed on the television screen once the feature is enabled on Menu 6-1-2. The receiver will only pick up information from calls coming in on the standard single ring. Meaning calls witch produce any type of distinctive rings (i.e. Ident-A-Call or long distance) will not register. The Caller ID feature will not function with visual call waiting." Tested it today and still working. Last e-mail from them said "Regretfully, currently there is no time frame set for the caller ID feature to be activated with the receiver 9200. We appreciate your understanding and patience." The first quote is a reply for my reply to Expressvu for the second quote. This is my third 9200, the first two failed and have had a number of problems - many of which seem to be solved by shutting it off, pulling the plug, removing the cables, waiting and then hooking it up again. Biggest problem is getting consistent widescreen on my Plasma tv which can accept 1080 or 720 signals. and aspect ratio is 16:9 If I set the receiver on 1080i and 16:9 only channels in widescreen are pbs and discovery and tv spends a lot of time searching for a signal. With the receiver on 720 and 4x3 #1 received a really good picture until the receiver went into standby and then I had to change to 4x3#2 to get widescreen. Ability to use the format button is lost on HD channels. Anybody got similar or other problems and solutions?? Your caller id may be working now. mine started working last nite.
